A watch smarter than me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Galaxy Watch LTE 42mm. Besides the fact that I can view email, txt and call notifications on my watch, not being as obvious checking my phone during a meeting, I love all the Samsung Health apps. It reminds me to get moving throughout the day recommending simple things like a torso twist at my desk or a quick walk down the hall just to keep moving. The watch faces that are available are really useful - so many different options to show my steps, my water or coffee intake and even my daily schedule. The LTE ability of the watch is great - it means I don't need to take my phone with me on runs or to the gym and I don't miss anything important. There are even games on the watch - I hadn't held out much hope for games on such a tiny screen but the few I've tried have been pretty good. The quality of the watch is nice. It's not heavy on my wrist and while it's a little bigger than I would like, it's not obnoxious and looks "normal" on my wrist. I love the band - it's soft and comfortable and can get wet without getting smelly and gross like my last leather band. The Samsung Pay option makes life so much easier - my credit card was easy to add and works at a lot of places. The battery life lasts a full 3 days which means I can wear the watch at night and track my sleep. I don't even have to do anything, it just does it automatically and lets me know the results. There are multiple apps available to give me more details which are great. Overall, I love this watch. It makes my life much easier.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a really nice watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really nice watch. I love how sleek and sophisticated it looks. The watch is bulky at all and its overall presentation is nice. I love that it has everything I need in one place! I am able to text, make calls, check my heart rate, and so much more! It was pretty easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy phone and I was able to download additional face plate designs to suit my style. The touch screen makes it easy to swipe between the different apps. I have have had no issues and I am pretty pleased with this watch. It's so convenient for a busy person like myself and I definitely recommend this watch to others who are always on the go!

Nice screen quality, good features

i really, sincerely wish i didn't have to charge it every 28 hours. i don't use the aod, i have a 10 sec screen timeout, no gps, light/short vibrations, etc... the battery life is just utterly horrible.
then, there is a huge gap in the availability of high quality apps between tizenos, wear os, and watchos. name your favorite app available on your phone. 98% guarantee it is not available for your galaxy watch. so you get stuck with push notifications and "show on phone" only. bummer.
overall, i ordered a cheap wear os smartwatch to see if i'll switch over. i'm a long-term samsung fan. but have been disappointed overall with the galaxy watch. i would recommend it, but with extreme caveats like do not pay full price and don't expect the battery to be anything like advertised.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just got the watch this weekend and samsung got it right this time. I've had a few Samsung watches and the one thing that always gets me is battery life and sound quality if available. This watch has it all the battery last almost a full 2 days no b.s. and the speaker for phone calls is great. You can listen to music and actually hear it. Its water proof of course I tested it I shower with it on to see and submerged it. The only thing it does drain power when listening to music I'd roughly guess 7 or 8 hours of non stop play it seems. Samsung pay works good and all around it's a beautiful piece of tech. If you can buy the thing it's worth it I promise.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DOES NOT WORK INDEPENDENTLY!!

Samsung advertised that this watch would work completely independently without a phone but you still need a phone regardless. It has it's own line and number but if you can't set it up or there's an issue with the phone itself, it won't work on the watch. TOTAL FALSE ADVERTISING! What a royal waste of money. I want to return mine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
